LO1 - (Daily) Shooting Schedule

LO1 - Risk Assessment

Below is the risk assessment I created for work on this project.

LO1 - Set Designs

Below are photos I took of locations that I felt would be suitable for filming in. Not all the sets can be seen within the final film (e.g. the first photo below) as there would have been something wrong with the footage or setting. Despite this, filming still took place in all locations/sets shown below.

LO1 - Script

Below is my uncompleted script for my short film - currently under development. Sections will be improved, added, altered and/or removed.

Below is the first page of the script. It is still under development as improvements can be made and no sound effect information has yet been added. Highlighted is something I have put under consideration.

LO1 - Storyboard

Below is the first page of the storyboard which I am using to plan camera angle shots. I am currently in the process of developing the storyboards.

Images within the storyboard will be justified, explained and compared to actual footage at a later date.

LO1 - Treatment

TREATMENT

SUPERGLUE!

THE BRIEF

TARGET AUDIENCE

 This will be targeted at family audiences, with a silly story that appeals to kids, but humour that adults will enjoy.

SEGMENT SYNOPSIS AND HOW IT RELATES TO THE BRIEF

Superglue, a hero with glue (or office equipment) related powers, has been instructed to investigate a UFO heading towards Earth.

Flying into space, he sees that the UFO is a spaceship that resembles a large pair of scissors. Taken aboard the spaceship as prisoner, he finds out that the owner of the ship is Semi-Circle Man, his arch enemy. Semi-Circle Man explains that most villains fail in their attempts to take over the world, so using his scissor shaped spaceship he shall cut the world in half, that we he's more likely to take over at least HALF the world.

The world is then cut in half and it looks like Semi-Circle Man has successfully took over the left side of the planet. However, Superglue is able to escape* and he uses his glue powers to stick both halves of the Earth back together, sealing Semi-Circle Man inside.

*ironically using the a pair of scissors to cut his way out of the ropes constraining him. The scissors are part of a model diagram used by Semi-Circle Man when explaining his evil plans.

Copyright for music used
 I must check that I can use the name 'Superglue' without triggering any copyright issues with the company Super Glue.
I must also check the copyright use of the 'Countdown' theme tune and availability of theme tunes/music scores from superhero films.

Consent forms for actors and locations
Before filming I shall receive confirmation from actors and set providers/owners that they understand what will be involved, what it's intended use is for and that they still wish to work on the project.
